PASSIVE VOICE
В английском языке имеется два залога действительный (the Active Voice) и
страдательный (the Passive Voice).
Глагол употребляется в действительном залоге, если подлежащим в предложении является лицо или предмет, производящие действие:
John cooked the dinner last night.
Джон приготовил обед вчера.
Глагол в страдательном залоге выражает действие, которое направлено на лицо или предмет, выраженное подлежащим:
The dinner was cooked by John last night.
Вчера обед был приготовлен Джоном.

*При изменении глагола из действительного залога в страдательный меняется вся конструкция предложения. При изменении предложения из активной формы в пассивную, дополнение предложения в активной форме становится подлежащим предложения в пассивной форме; глагол действительного залога становится глаголом страдательного залога, а подлежащее предложения в активной форме становится предложным дополнением, которое вводится предлогом by или вовсе опускается:
Active |
Passive |
|
|
The boy fed the horse. |
The horse was fed by the boy. |
|
|
Lena is washing the towel. |

|
|
They have told Steve about it. |
Steve has been told about it. |
|
|
We shall dig the ground with a spade. |
The ground will be dug with a spade (by us). |
|
|
*Предлог by употребляется в страдательном залоге перед дополнением, если речь идёт о лице или предмете, совершающем действие; предлог with в страдательном залоге так же, как и в действительном залоге, перед дополнением означает орудие или инструмент, посредством которого совершается действие:
